The plasma vs. LCD televison debate has raged for some time now among home theater enthusiasts and the "for and against" arguments have been well documented.
LCD televisions have come a long way in a short space of time and this article is intended only as guide to some of the better rated LCDs available, particularly if you are thinking of purchasing one.
Familiar manufacturers names head the list such as Sony, Samsung and Sharp. It's difficult to list one television set above all the others because screen size needs to be taken into account. Let's concentrate on some of the bigger models.
Sony
Sony has two sets well worth considering. Their 46 inch Bravia KDL-46XBR2 and the 40 inch KDL-40S2010. It depends on the size you want and with another football season upon us you may very well decide the larger screen model is for you and will be perfect for your home theater. That's if you're into football of course!
Sony models are hard to beat in performance and picture quality. The 46 inch KDL-46XBR2 has full 1080p HDTV resolution plus excellent video quality and to satisfy your better half, it just plain and simple looks good even when it's not operating. With prices continuing to tumble, several years ago this set may have set you back five figures but by shopping astutely, you can satisfy your LCD needs for close to 00.
The smaller KDL-40S2010 model is priced closer to 00 but is packed full of feature. Performance aside, this stylish looking tv intergrated with a stand, has very acceptable wide viewing angles and for those looking for a classy set, this is hard to beat.
Sharp And Samsung
Both Sharp and Samsung have rapidly climbed towards the top of the LCD television rankings.
Sharp has an impressive array of larger screen models up to 52 inches. The LC-42D62U 42 inch is hard to go past. Large screens are great but for something a little in between this model offers powerful features including excellent high definition, super picture quality and the looks to match.
You would be very hard to please if you didn't take a liking to this particular model. It's normal list price varies between 00-00 but astute shoppers will do much better.
Devotees looking for a large screen model television should consider the Samsung LN-S5296D 52 inch. Don't worry about picture quality because this model really delivers in that department with 1080p high definition.
It is packed with many features and can deliver an exceptionally sharp image despite it's size. The main drawback is the price...at about 00 it may be out of the reach of many although again, astute shoppers could pick one up for as low as 00.
